A little Easter sewing for you.

As I sit here typing I can hear Halley singing songs about God in her bed.

My heart is so happy.

Looking through last year's Easter pics, I can't believe how much has changed.

My blog was just a baby,

we just got a Mac,

I was teaching myself how to sew with patterns,

Halley used to wear big huge bows,

Lulu was so little,

Janey wasn't even created.

Crazy.

I look forward to pulling out the Easter baskets and skirts again, as well as making Janey something tiny and matching, as we celebrate Jesus' resurrection.

I made Easter baskets using this Sew Sensible pattern. It is more of an intermediate level project. I measured and cut it out wrong the first time, but then I figured it out. Might have to do with my lack of paying attention to instructions. The final product is super cute and holds a ton of eggs. I dare you to give it a try.

These skirts were made using this ruffled skirt tutorial from Grand Revival Designs. After all of the patterns I have tried in this past year, this still is one of my favorites. It will really push you to learn gathering and when you are done I think you will be really proud. I added the ruffles to make it more twirly. What girl doesnt' love to twirl? I made both of them a little big, so they can be worn again this year for the community egg hunt. I normally not really into character clothing, but once in a while an exception has to be made.

I would love to try these, if only you can tell me where you got the Charlie Brown fabric - my youngest is crazy about Snoopy. I've made fleece CB blankets, but I've never seen this - please let me know where you get the goods! :)

Cute skirts-I've used that pattern before but never thought about adding the extra ruffles-very cute!!I finished Storey's Easter dress, but it doesn't look very Eastery-it's on my blog if you want to take a look :)
